watched this for 803 today. It was....sad. actually i don't really like to watch shows that stir up too much emotions, its so draining to make it through the movie
under normal circumstances i wouldn't pay to watch such a show. Its a story of two parent's struggle to save their son from ALD, a disease that supposedly had no cure( at that time) and would cause his brain to slowly waste away. he will become blind, deaf, mute, spastic and eventally die.
Its bad. To have to watch your child fall into pieces while you, you can do nothing to hold him together. You try to be strong, try to be supportive, try to be optimistic, then eventually you fall apart too. You realise that you arent actually trying to save your son, but trying to save yourself from the injustice served to you. It seems like a dead end, but you dun give up. You just dun believe that life can be that unfair
It was a powerful film. I"m not a parent, but its impact was not lost on me. The cinematic techinique for some scene were really so good too. But what i loved the most, was the ending. As the camera shot up on the renaissance paintings of where i presume to be in a church, a mother shares her hope for a child, before it fades into the voice of a child, the child who is now 14 and still living under the shadow of ALD.
(Michaela ) Papa called from Italy, darling.
He's missing his Lorenzacchiovery, very much. But he wants me to tell you he's making a big dinner tonight, a banquet of brain food for the cleverest doctors in the world who've gathered together to put the myelin back in the shaking puppy dogs.
And if they can achieve that, someday there might be a way to help all the people who've lost their myelin. Not only the boys with ALD, but the people with multiple sclerosis and many other diseases, Lorenzo.
And then think, my brave boy, if they can ever give you back your myelin, you'll be able to tell your brain to tell your toes, your fingers, your anything, to do what you want them to do.
(Lorenzo ) what I want them to do.
(both) And then, one day,...
(Lorenzo )I'll hear my voice...
and all these words I'm thinking will get outside my head.
